Afghan Cartoon "Protestors" Threaten To Join Al Qaeda

Hundreds of Afghan students shouted support on Monday for Osama bin Laden and threatened to join al Qaeda during a protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

Pakistan's main Islamist alliance vowed to broaden its campaign with more protests targeted at the U.S. and Pakistani presidents.

The protest in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad passed off without violence. Students gathered at the university campus chanted "Death to Denmark", "Death to America" and "Death to France", a witness said.

They also shouted support for al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri.

Shouting "Death to Karzai", they demanded President Hamid Karzai close the embassies of Denmark, the United States and France and expel their forces from Afghanistan.

"If they abuse the Prophet of Islam again we will all become al Qaeda," the students shouted.

It may be time to begin considering the possibility that Bush was wrong, the Muslim mindset cannot be changed, and that the only possible approach to the Islamic world is quarrantine with occasional airstrikes.

I'm in a Pat Buchanan neoisolationist kind of mood. I'm just about done with any fantasies about "reforming" this sick culture of death.
